“If you're looking to go to Greece and simply cannot afford it like me.. this is basically the same thing. The greek family that runs Nisiotis Taverna makes such amazing and authentic greek cuisine. From the design to the music to the hospitality, Greece is literally right here in Teaneck, NJ. This hidden gem is the place to be this summer.Also... I must say I crave their gyro weekly... and with my super on-the-go job, their free delivery service has definitely come in handy more than once since I found out about it. Get to Nisiotis Taverna!! You won't regret it :)“

“Compliments to Yalla for vert tasty, diversified and plentiful menu. We visited you yesterday with 2 teen grandchildren and everyone enjoyed her/his choice. Your food is flavorful & fresh, the service is efficient and polite, the potions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. -- Highly recommended.“

“I have been going to this restaurant for years and every-time I have received wonderful food and service. The chef is Persian and makes authentic Persian home style food. I recommend dinning at this place. They have the most variety of food in the menu like Kaleh-Pacheh and Abgoosht-Dizie compared to other Persian restaurants. Very kind and attentive staff.“

“Always a good time at Kabab Paradise in Teaneck. I have been going to the original Lake Hiawatha location for well over a decade, so I was quite excited when they opened the Teaneck branch back in 2020. Everything in the restaurant is very clean and the service is excellent. The manager Ali has done a wonderful job with running the establishment. The food is also quite good and evocative of the original. I must admit I do prefer the Lake Hiawatha location, but it's still amazing to have Kabab Paradise in Teaneck. If you don't know what to get I would highly recommend the Honey BBQ cutlet. It's my go to and the best!“

“Delicious & great service! We loved Esca but this was also v delicious & v healthy. Room is pretty.

“Always delicious...great service and atmosphere“

“Excellent food, a bit on the pricy side compared to other Greek places around but great food. The moussaka was great, served in a small dish, definitely worth sharing. We ordered daily speciality and were not disappointed. Our sever was lovely, she had a very authentically welcoming vibe, could be the Greek hospitality; but I loved how genuine she presented herself, the staff was lovely as well.“

“We've been to Casa Limone many times, usually for lunch. The Executive Lunch on weekdays is our choice every time. The portion is just right and the salmon crudo and soup are always great choices. My wife and I split dessert and the gianduja is wonderful. Service at Casa Limone is always terrific from bussers to servers. Casa Limone is our go-to whenever we look for lunch in midtown.“

“I visited the Yemeni restaurant run by Chef Jamal and it was an excellent and more than wonderful experience. Yemeni dishes are characterized by rich and unique flavors, which attracts many other nationalities to try them. Also, Yemeni dishes rely on natural and healthy ingredients, which makes them a healthy choice for people who care about healthy nutrition. The quality of Yemeni cooking is what attracts all non-Yemenis who taste it.After eating...don't forget to try the areca - very, very delicious“

“Very nice restaurant. Just honest ingredients with excellent flavors. Service was great, attentive but not pushy (unlike some other restaurants). Go here for proper food and a general nice evening.Had the mezes and NY tenderloin steak, both good dishes. Nice steak that comes without fuzz (butter, unnecessary sauces etc).“

“My wife and I have been looking for a place to enjoy some Mediterranean staples, and we’re so glad we found Kilim. Firstly, the restaurant is beautifully decorated, wherein you can feel the passion and love the owner has for their space. The food was beyond delicious. Highly recommend the babaganus, I could have ate buckets of it if given the opportunity. Everything tasted fresh and was so flavorful from the bread service to the dessert. And lastly, the service was impeccable. The restaurant was very busy, and the waitstaff made us feel like we were their main priority from the moment we walked in. Truly a hidden gem tucked away in an unassuming location, we cannot recommend Kilim enough.“

“We would like to thank the Avra Team for the wonderful experience we had celebrating our son's 1 year old birthday and his grandparents 40th wedding anniversary. Beautiful place for special celebration! Sophisticated ambience, attentive staff, exceptional service, delicious Greek food! We highly recommend making reservation in advance!“

“The food here is insanely good and strongly recommend coming here!! I’ve been living in NY for 7 years, work in the neighborhood and my family is Greek/Turkish so I know good Mediterranean food.The waiters were very accommodating to our party which had diary and gluten allergies.The food is well flavored, incredibly fresh, cocktails tasted (love the espresso Martini with Turkish Coffee, Bodrum cocktail and Mastika cocktail).I would recommend getting the manti (dumpling), mixed grill, the fried liver, every dip (especially the eggplant ones), Sheppard salad, and arugula salad.Dietary restrictions: The waiters were very helpful in accommodating the gluten and dairy allergies of our party. There was a vast selection to choose from and they have a separate fryer for non-gluten dishes to ensure no cross contamination.“

“Came here on a Saturday night with reservations. Very lively. Waiters were attentive. The shrimp saganaki was flavorful. The octopus was exceptional. The lamb chop was delicious. Wasn’t a big fan of the baked clams. They were too oily and not fresh. I don’t think the waiter seemed to care when my friend told him. However, we had a good time as the drinks were good.“

“My husband and I went to Zaffron Bloom two days ago. We ordered Shashlik Kebab, which was very tasty. Zaffron Bloom is a family-owned business, and the staff were friendly and kind; they even brought us a complimentary Shirazi salad and appetizer.I look forward to going there again to try more of their delicious food, as they have many options on their menu.“

“It's the best Hummus, Labane, Babaganosh“

“The best authentic Lebanese food in NYC. A must-try. All there food is fresh and delicious and very generous quantities. Their Shawarma is soooo good, you can eat it in bowl or a sandwich with lots of yummy toppings. I also tried their falafel and it was super good!“

“Atmosphere, amazing! Food, top! Jeffrey, BRAVISSIMO!“

“Love this place! It does not have the glossy aspect of other taverns in Astoria, but they can always get seats for you and the food is always fresh and delicious. The staff is super friendly and make you feel welcome. Small talks conversations with the owner or the staff is always pleasant and not at the expense of a great service. This place is a hidden gem and always a great choice during holidays when all the other big taverns make you wait for hours for a seating. Their lamb bbq on Easter or St Georgy's Day is the best!“

I wish I had taken more pictures but I think the fact that I didn’t just proves how immersed our group was in the experience. Simply devine and I cannot wait to return next time I’m in the city!Dietary restrictions: We had someone in our party who was gluten free and they took good care of her and she had plenty of options to choose from.“

“Great place Wonderful food Good service“

“This place is amazing. We’ve been here twice already for lunch and loved the experience. The server was very attentive and welcoming. The food was just delicious, with the perfect portions and sides. We had the chicken shish kebab, salmon with house salad, and humus. All 10/10. I would definitely recommend and will be coming back!“

“Very good, I'm from Tijuana, Mexico, and this restaurant is really doing it big, in this very expensive city.We ordered Nachos with meat and a quesadilla with meat as well, and it has very good flavor and portions and eating this plus a bottle of water and a can of soda for $25.86 is a bargain, having a 1000 dollar hotel less than a block away. the night. I congratulate you and recommend you.“

“Went today for the first time, wonderful staff and the food was incredible. Great size portions, every part of our meal was delicious. Cannot wait to go back again. Well worth the ride from Ramsey. NJ“

“Fantastic!! What a fun evening we had! Such a great neighborhood find. Started with happy hour cocktails at the bar. The cocktail menu is fabulous, the drinks were inventive, delicious, and presented beautifully. Bartenders were helpful, friendly, and made sure we loved our cocktails. Dinner was delicious! We were a group of four and shared a Greek salad, grilled octopus, lamb chops, and Branzino. Everything was incredible, with plenty for 4. Our waiter kept an eye on us and made sure we were well taken care of. The restaurant is very attractive inside, had a nice crowd, and noise level was good even when very full. We will be back, and often. Prices are very fair. The staff here are really great, makes a difference!“

“Delicious, delicious, DELICIOUS!“

“Bustan is a must if you are looking for delicious middle eastern cuisine. It’s authentic and sophisticated with rich flavors. Our favorites were the kebabs, Moroccan fish, gem salad, cauliflower, hummus, labneh, and the pitas were perfect. The malabi and chocolate cake are also excellent. Definitely come here or even order from here!!“

“Great Lunch… Izzy our waiter went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our lunch. We go here frequently and always a good meal and very accommodating.“

“Nice Turkish restaurant. Reasonably priced.“

“Alright! Where do i begin?! There were 4 people behind the counter and when i walked in, all four greeted me. The manager greeted at the ordering station and didnt overwhelm me to order my food as this was the first time being there. He asked me if id like any suggestions and we landed on the chicken platter with spicy chickpeas rice and cole slaw. Everything about this bowl was immaculate. The chicken was well seasoned and spiced, the chick peas were tender and savory, and the rice was such a great compliment to the protein. I also ordered their fries because why not!The portion size was generous but not overbearing. They had the mexican coke glass bottles which was a great choice to wash the food down with. I got the brown to top it all off and it was amazing. Chipotle, Qdoba, Halal Guys even have nothing on Juicy Platters. I definitely will be coming back with the family!“

“Creative take on Mediterranean food Fantastic“

“First time visiting this restaurant everything was delicious. The service was great. I had a recommend dining at this great establishment.“

“Yummy and great service. Hummus!“

“Cello is a cozy spot with a decent selection of drinks (beer, wine, spirits) and small plates. The interior is really charming, with wood and exposed brick making it feel more like a relative's home than a bar in midtown Manhattan. There's bar seating, and a few small tables. Overall not many seats, expect a wait if you try to come at peak times. Drinks were fine -- good beer selection and a list of cocktails that was balanced, without being overwhelming. Service was excellent, the bartenders were very friendly. Definitely worth a visit for a more intimate get together or a date!“

“Great spot for a date night! Highly recommend.“

“Outstanding! Super comfort-chic vibe and great ambiance all around. Management, servers, et all were A plus. Passover pre fixe and A la carte were just perfect. Matzah hall soup and gefilte fish app platter were superb! A definite go to again!“

“Great service, friendly staff, and delicious food“

“Visited American Dream Mall and decided to find some good food to eat! Came across this delicious Turkish restaurant. I had the chicken Adana kabob and my family members had salmon lamb chops lanb Adana, which was all wonderful. THE LENTIL SOUP, one of the best I have had!! Great portions, about $20-$30 a person. I am stuffed! Deniz was the gentleman who helped us and was super attentive! He recommended some yummy Turkish sodas and desserts. Great service, would definitely come here again!“

“service and food was amazing“

“This is some of. If not. The most authentic and delicious Turkish food I have ever had. This is equivalent to ordering in the streets of Istanbul at the restaurants there. Everything is always very delicious and fresh. The staff is very kind and courteous. They also have outdoor seating behind the building which is perfect for the spring / summer season so you can enjoy some sun. I love their Lamb & Chicken Adana Kebab along with the cheese Gözleme. I recommend everyone try it for their great prices and even greater food!“
